He only needs to be healthy for the stretch run. We know we can get by with Morris if needed for a few games. Hell, we almost won it all with a 33 year old guard playing the position.

All these excuses are only going to lead to having jack shit at the position again. This is one of those spots where you just go balls deep and do what the hell needs to be done because you've tried literally everything else. There will be risk, but there's also risk to throwing D.J. Humphries out there and hoping he's still an NFL left tackle. The risk that leads to Mahomes having his best shot to rip hearts out in the playoffs is what I'm picking.
